===== From gregj56590@aol.com: I like it! Perfect photo realism of the test tubes and table top, plus cutesy plastic bugs! It has it all!! ===== From djconnel@flash.net: Interesting scene! First, I must say I don't find it seems the most appropriate representation of "first encounter".... But the image is a good one. The only thing is it could use a little more...it's too neat. The "scientist" clearly isn't tidy, since he left the paper where he did, but otherwise things are pristine. A little more clutter would go a long way. The moon is a nice touch, but is probably too large. ===== From east103@dialaccess.com: Concept not clear to me. Beakers and flasks could be smoother. Nice bug though. ===== From ethelm@bigfoot.com: Humourous, mysterious and satirical. Shades of Frankenstein! ===== From blaineholmes@hotmail.com: I like how the reflections and light interacts with your scene.
